"Niger" meaning in English

See Niger in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈnaɪ.d͡ʒə(ɹ)/ [Received-Pronunciation], /niːˈʒɛə(ɹ)/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈnaɪ.d͡ʒɚ/ [General-American], /niːˈʒɛɚ/ [General-American] Audio: en-us-Niger.ogg [US] Forms: Niger [canonical], the Niger [canonical]
enPR: nīʹjər, nēzhârʹ Rhymes: -aɪd͡ʒə(ɹ), -ɛə(ɹ) Etymology: Commonly linked by folk etymology to Latin niger (“black”), which likely influenced the modern spelling. Some sources give the term to Tuareg roots, deriving it from a claimed gher n-gheren or egereou n-igereouen (“river of rivers”). Older sources derive Niger, via a series of mistranslations and geographic misplacements by Greek, Roman and Arab geographers, from Ptolemy's descriptions of the wadi Gir (in modern Algeria) and the "Lower Gir" (or "Ni-Gir") to the south.
